Comment on Nintendo survey seeks feedback on controversial game-key cards, physical and digital purchases | VGC
slauraure@beehaw.org 4 days agoI thought the problem was that they only offer 64GB for Switch 2 and it has a per unit cost of 16 USD for 3rd party publisher. This seriously eats at the margins per unit especially for cheaper titles and makes them opt for the key cards instead.
Smaller games could fit on smaller and cheaper cartridges and bigger games will fill the whole cartridge and require additional downloads to be playable.

My understanding is that they offer them all, but publishers havent been able to reliably get 8 or 16gb cards. Whether thats Nintendo being shady or some legitimate supply issue, I don’t know.

That sounds plausible. I guess we’ll see if real physical games start popping up soon.
